water locationtram stopnoisy doorsdifficult order
the location near the water was great. the tram stop was close, so i could easily reach the city center (it runs every 6 minutes!).
The room doors were noisy, hard to sleep well. i also had some trouble with room service one evening. The order process was difficult, and the food quality was not great (i think it needs some tlc).

i found free car parking very helpful. the staff always said hello as i walked past. the location near the waterfront made it easy to access public transport into the city center.
the room had poor heating , with only a small radiator. the bathroom contained black mold on the shower screen. the extractor fan did not work in the bathroom , so the room was steamy.

leith stay impressions

waterfront locationfriendly staffkind acknowledgementextra towel
the location was great, right in the heart of leith with a waterfront view. the staff were polite, friendly, and very helpful . it was a nice gesture that the staff acknowledged my ruby wedding anniversary. extra towels and pillows were provided in my room, a pleasant surprise.
The room walls and rugs showed considerable wear. I noticed stains and nicks which detracted from the overall experience.

excellent hotel near the waterfront

great locationcute stafffree parkingloud heater
the location was great. the staff were very cute (olha and deep gave a warm welcome). i even got an upgrade on my reservation. i was allowed to park my car in the hotel parking lot for free for a week.
the room was cold, and the heater made unbelievably loud banging noises. i had to turn it off, as it kept waking me up. the bar prices also seemed uncompetitive when compared with local bars.

the hotel is near some cafes and restaurants. it also is close to the ocean terminal. the tram stop is a short distance away (just a stone's throw), offering direct access to the city center and the airport.

Underwhelming Stay Despite Initial Impressions

worn furniturehallway noise
The room felt quite worn. A lightbulb was out and some of the furniture showed wear. I could hear everything happening in the hallway. it felt more like a hostel than a hotel that justifies the price..
